less convenient than the parametric representation. At each point where the cycloid meets OX a sharp vertexcalled a cusp is formed. The distance between two consecutivecusps is evidently 2 ira. 110 PARAMETRIC I IK PRESENTATION 56. The trochoid. When a circle rolls upon a straight line,any point… … axis of x, P(x, y) the point which describes the trochoid, andK the point in which the line CP meets the circle. Take asthe origin 0 the point found by rolling the circle toward theleft until A is on the axis of x. Then ON = arc NX.
